Automotive audio equipment installations can be troublesome at times, even to the 
most experienced of installation technicians. If you are not confi dent working with 
electrical wiring, removing and reinstalling interior panels, carpeting, dashboards or 
other components of your vehicle, please call our toll free help line (800) 445-1797 
and our in-house technical service team will answer your installation questions.

Most car stereos do not have enough power to drive separate subwoofers, if your 
mobile auto audio system does not have a separate amplifi er installed, you will most 
likely need to install one.

Before permanently installing the VSW120 speakers in your car, connect the wires 
to the speakers according to your audio systems installation manual, in the approxi-
mate location you will install them. If you are satisfi ed with the location proceed with 
the permanent installation.

If you are building your own sealed 
box enclosure, it should have a vol-
ume of 1.5 to 2.0 cubic feet, and 
made with a minimum of 5/8” thick 
particle board or M.D.F..  Make 
sure that you screw and glue it to-
gether for a proper seal, caulk all 
seams, and joints with silicone rub-
ber caulking. The inner walls of the 
enclosure should be covered with a 
sound absorbing material. Maintain 
polarity of the amplifi er and speak-
er for proper phase alignment. This  
insures the VSW120 operates at 
maximum effi ciency.

Speaker wire of 18 Gauge to 12 Gauge may be used with the VSW120C. You can
purchase speaker wire with spade lug type female disconnects pre-installed on one end.

To attach speaker wires (not 
included) with female quick 
connects (spade lug type) to 
the speaker terminals.
Push the female quick
connects (spade lug type) onto 
the terminals. Maintain proper 
polarity by attaching the Posi-
tive Wire (+) to Positive Termi-
nal (+) and the Negative Wire (-) 
to Negative Terminal (-).

If the female quick connects 
can be easily pulled off, they 
can be tightened a little bit by 
lightly squeezing them with 
a pair of pliers. Do not fl atten 
them completely.

The VSW120 is designed to give you optimum bass performance when installed in a 
sealed speaker enclosure.

Recommendations for Positioning the VSW120 in Your Vehicle:

Cars:  Hatch Back or Trunk
SUVs: & Mini Vans:  Cargo Area
Pick-up Trucks: Behind Front Seat

All auto audio components must be securely mounted. Driving styles and 
road conditions such as sudden stops, sharp curves, and bumpy roads may 
cause unsecured items to move about the vehicle, causing physical injuries 
to vehicle occupants and/or vehicle damage.

Before installing in an enclosure use the VSW120 as a guide to mark the enclosure 
for pilot holes. When you have marked the pilot hole positions drill them with a bit 
that is smaller than the screws you will use to secure the speaker to the enclosure.

Attach the positive (+)
and negative (-) wires 
found inside the
enclosure box to the 
VSW120 terminals. At-
tach Positive (+) to posi-
tive (+), and negative (-) 
to negative (-).  

Place the subwoofer 
into the opening of the 
enclosure. Then align 
the screw holes of the 
subwoofer with the pilot 
holes that you drilled. 
Tighten the screws. 

Place a subwoofer grill 
(optional) over the sub-
woofer, then fasten the 
subwoofer grill in place. 
Attach wires from audio 
source to the terminals 
on back of the enclo-
sure.
